INTRODUCTION1
According to the South African Constitution, everyone in South Africa has the right to be treated
with dignity and respect, and ought to enjoy the right to safety and security. Despite these
provisions, a range of civil society organisations (CSOs), human rights actors and academics
have observed ongoing patterns of crimes specifically targeting people on the basis of their race,
nationality, religion, sexual orientation or other such factors. Such crimes, known
internationally as hate crimes, undermine social cohesion on a societal and community level and
have been shown to have an especially traumatic impact on victims. South Africa has laws that
address discrimination such as the Promotion of Equality and Prevention of Unfair
Discrimination Act (PEPUDA) and section 9 of the Constitution, yet neither of these is
specifically tailored to address hate crime. Moreover, an analysis by legal practitioners has
demonstrated that the existing legal framework does not provide sufficient tools to address hate
crime.
Despite the lack of an official reporting mechanism for hate crimes, civil society and the media
have drawn attention to ongoing incidents of crimes, such as the ‘corrective’ rape and murder of
black lesbians, race-related attacks, xenophobic attacks on foreign nationals, and incidents of
religious intolerance that all go unaddressed as hate crimes. This inaction has resulted in a
culture of impunity for hate crime offenders and a general perception that prejudice-based
crimes are not taken seriously. Until recently there seemed to be a tendency amongst South
African policy makers to dismiss such incidents as being simply ‘criminal’ or merely an
unfortunate part of life in South Africa. This approach however, fails to recognise the extreme
damage such prejudice-related violence has on the victims and on the communities that victims
associate themselves with. Sadly, due to a paucity of data on the prevalence, nature and impact
of hate crimes in South Africa on individuals, communities and society, protection against
crimes motivated by discrimination and prejudice cannot be provided.
The United Nations Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination in August 2006
called on South Africa to introduce measures to address hate crimes as required by Article 4 of
the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination. The South African
Human Rights Commission has also called on government to address this matter. In addition,
informed by the needs of their respective constituencies, CSOs have for many years been
advocating for interventions to specifically address hate crimes in South Africa. The recognition
of hate crimes in South Africa by legislators, policy makers and authorities, together with

effective measures to prevent and penalise hate crimes, can serve to protect all persons in South
Africa against discrimination or attacks based on intolerance of diversity.
The Hate Crimes Working Group
The Hate Crimes Working Group (HCWG)2, a multi-sectoral workgroup that was established late
in 2009 with the common goal of lobbying for interventions to address hate crimes in South
Africa, has been playing a pivotal role in advocating and lobbying for legislative changes around
hate crimes. As per the HCWG Terms of Reference, finalised in 2011, three primary goals have
been identified for interventions to deal with hate crimes. These are to:

Achieve broader recognition of the nature of hate crimes and the need for hate crimes
policy and legislation

Inform and develop advocacy efforts that contribute to ensuring government enacts and
implements hate crimes policy and legislation

Facilitate the collection of data and research regarding hate crimes to contribute to
improved prevention and effectiveness of a criminal justice response.
The first two of these goals require legislative and policy changes, which should be guided by
what Police and criminal justice practitioners identify as the stumbling blocks to an effective
response to hate crimes. The University of South Africa (Unisa) Department of Psychology,
under the auspices of the HCWG, has since 2010 been in a process of developing and piloting a
‘Hate & Bias Crime Monitoring Form’ in collaboration with international and local experts, with
which victims of suspected hate crimes can report crimes that they perceive as being motivated
by prejudice. This Monitoring Form is intended to offer a starting point from which to address
the third key area specified above, pertaining to the improved monitoring of hate crimes that in
turn will make statistics available to support the need to reform policies and improve the
criminal justice system with regard its response to hate crimes.
The Monitoring Form was developed with the aim of collecting information about the nature
and impact of hate crimes in South Africa, as well as whether hate crimes are being reported to

The Hate Crimes Working Group (HCWG) is a multi-sectoral network of civil society organisations and other
interested parties set up to spearhead advocacy and reform initiatives pertaining to hate crimes in South Africa and
the region. Members of the network are from diverse sectors, namely lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex
(LGBTI) rights; migrants, refugees and asylum seekers rights; gender based entities and broader human rights
organisations. They all share a common concern on the impact of hate crimes in South Africa from the perspective of
the victims or from a legal, service provision, research based or advocacy perspective.

authorities; the types of hate crimes perpetrated; and the response of the authorities when such
cases are reported. By compiling this information, the HCWG will lobby the relevant
government departments to develop mechanisms, which would include the introduction of new
policy and legislation, to tackle hate crimes and offer scientific evidence of the nature,
prevalence and victims of hate crimes in South Africa. In addition this information can be used
by CSOs and/or government agencies for, for instance, the development of effective and
targeted prevention strategies; or to reduce threatened levels of violence in particular
circumstances; or to strengthen the policing and criminal justice response through the accurate
identification of trends and of specific vulnerable communities or areas.
The HCWG is striving towards meeting international standards of reporting hate crimes,
thereby informing legislation and policy to ensure that hate crimes are dealt with effectively.
The participation of your organisation and others in your related networks is a key factor in
making it possible for the HCWG to achieve our aims. By participating in this project, you will be
assisting in strengthening our lobbying efforts, by helping to provide a greater understanding of
hate crimes in South Africa.
WHAT IS A HATE CRIME?
Hate crimes occur worldwide and are typically directed towards characteristics such as race,
nationality, ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender identity, age, disability, religion / beliefs, or
health status. ‘Hate crime’, as a separate crime category, however, is as yet not recognised in
South Africa.
A ‘hate crime’ has been defined by the Organisation for Security and Cooperation in Europe
(OSCE) as “a criminal act committed with a bias motive”. A ‘hate crime’ is thus a criminal offence
that is motivated in part or whole by bias (that is, a negative opinion or attitude) or hate, and
which is perpetrated against people, property, or an organisation. Hate crimes are not simply
biases, though, but actions motivated by biases. Therefore there are two key components of hate
crimes: The first is that the act constitutes a crime under existing criminal law (such as
intimidation, arson, damage to property, assault, rape or murder); the second is that some form
of specific bias was involved in the selection of the victim.
While hate crimes can involve mixed motives, including criminal incentives such as robbery,
they incorporate a range of crimes where the victim’s actual or perceived identity such as race,
nationality, sexual orientation, religion, gender, age, health status, and/ or language was a
motivating factor. In this manner, hate crime can be seen as an ‘identity crime’: actions are
Page | 6
directed at the identity of the victim and motivated by bias, not of the individual, but of the
group to which they belong. A victim is thus often a symbol of a broader group of people. In the
case of the xenophobic violence in South Africa of May 2008 for example, non-nationals were
attacked because of their identity, and also because they symbolised ‘all non-nationals’ who, in
the opinion of the perpetrators, were unwelcome. Crimes of hate may thus be defined as
‘message crimes’, as the message conveyed by perpetrator actions impacts beyond direct
victims to others of the targeted group. It is also notable that hate crimes are often violent, and
may be preceded by abusive language or hate speech, which is directed at the identity or ‘hated
characteristic’ of the victim.
Crimes such as intimidation, arson, damage to property, murder, assault and rape could be
classified as ‘hate crimes’ if the criminal act was motivated by prejudice or hate. The perpetrator
of a hate crime believes that the victim represents a stereotype (a set of simplistic
overgeneralisations, widely shared in a culture, about a group of people). The perpetrator
harbours negative beliefs and a negative attitude towards this stereotype and is therefore said
to be prejudiced. Should the perpetrator then decide that it is justifiable to actively discriminate
against the person(s) representing this stereotype, and commit a crime against the victim, the
victim’s family or the victim’s property, it is said to be a hate crime.
When individuals are attacked because they are perceived as representing a societal group
(such as non-nationals or lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex (LGBTI) people in
South Africa), this group may also feel vulnerable and frightened of similar attacks. Hate crimes
often take place in an environment where discrimination against particular groups is socially
accepted, but this does not mean that everybody belonging within that society condones
behaviours, such as xenophobia and so-called ‘corrective rape’.
Anyone can be a victim of a hate crime, therefore it is not just minorities or vulnerable groups
that can benefit from protection against hate crimes. Although hate crimes can be perpetrated
against anyone, it is often the more marginalised groups that are targeted. What is important is
that such crime involves prejudice towards the victim because of the group that the perpetrator
classifies the victim as belonging to. Hate crimes are different to other forms of crime not just
because of the prejudice motive, but also because of the traumatic effect that hate crimes have
on the victims. International studies on hate crime have shown that victims suffer consistently
higher levels of psychological distress. The psychological impact of hate crime includes a range
of symptoms of distress, such as depression, anger, sleep disturbances, nightmares, diarrhoea,
headaches, relationship problems, increased substance abuse, mistrustfulness, and feelings of
Page | 7
being unsafe. Loss of faith in the system that has failed them, numbed general emotional
expression and stress symptoms that are chronic, all have a potentially negative effect on the
victim’s personal well-being. This is one reason why hate crimes require specialised
psychological, legislative and policy responses and prioritisation.
Recent related developments in South Africa
Despite the potential debilitating impact of hate crimes on the victim, community and society,
there is currently no mechanism for reporting or recording hate crimes in South Africa in a way
that distinguishes them from other crimes. Therefore, the deliberate murder of a person
because of their sexual orientation or the colour of their skin would just be recorded as a
murder. Similarly, damage to a mosque due to hatred of the Muslim community will simply be
recorded as ‘malicious damage to property’. Additionally, due to the victim’s fear of persecution
by the perpetrator(s) and/ or of secondary victimisation by service providers, hate crimes are
often underreported. As a result, there is no way to assess the levels of hate crime in South
Africa, except when a particular case receives excessive media attention. Without related crime
categories and statistics that provide evidence of the extent and impact of hate crimes, it is
difficult to fully understand the impact of hate crime on the community, to lobby for reforms to
the policing and justice sectors, or to develop related interventions.
Fortunately, the need for change has been recognised by the Department of Justice and
Constitutional Development (DoJ&CD). Assisted by the Foundation for Human Rights (FHR), the
DoJ&CD developed a draft policy framework on combating hate crimes, hate speech and
discrimination, in a discussion document during 2011 and 2012. Should the Cabinet of South
Africa approve the contents of this discussion document, a policy framework for hate crimes
and related legislation will be developed concurrently during 2013 and 2014.
The mentioned hate crimes discussion document proposes the following definitions for ‘hate
crime’, ‘hate speech’ and ‘intentional unfair discrimination’ which, therefore, also apply to this
project:
Hate crime:
Hate crimes are offences recognised under the common law or any legislation, committed
solely or in part because of the fact or perceived fact of
(a) the victim’s race, gender, sex, pregnancy, nationality, marital status, ethnic or
social origin, colour, sexual orientation, gender identity, age, disability, religion,
conscience, belief, culture, language or birth, or related characteristics
(b) any other comparable characteristic where discrimination based on that
characteristic causes or perpetuates systemic disadvantage or undermines human
Page | 8
dignity.
Hate speech:
Any person who by any means of expression publicly and intentionally advocates hatred of
any other person or group of persons based on
(a) race, gender, sex, pregnancy, nationality, marital status, ethnic or social origin,
colour, sexual orientation, gender identity, age, disability, religion, conscience,
belief, culture, language or birth; or
(b) any other characteristic where discrimination based on that characteristic
causes or perpetuates systemic disadvantage or undermines human dignity,
in a way that incites others to harm such person or group, is guilty of the offence of hate
speech, whether or not such person or group is harmed.
Intentional unfair discrimination:
It is an offence intentionally to engage in conduct, other than expression or measures in
section 9(2) of the Constitution, which unfairly discriminates directly or indirectly against
any other person or group of persons
(a) on one or more of the grounds set out in section 9(3) of the Constitution; or
(b) on any other comparable characteristic where discrimination based on such
ground causes or perpetuates systemic disadvantage or undermines human
dignity.
Further definitions as well as a glossary of terms and hate crime classifications can be found as
an Appendix at the end of this document and can be consulted for guidance when completing
the Monitoring Form (see APPENDIX A: GLOSSARY OF TERMS).
PURPOSE OF THE HATE & BIAS CRIME MONITORING FORM
Hate crime data is being gathered in South Africa by specific organisations - such as some
religious groups, LGBTI organisations or refugee and migrant rights groups – with regard their
own constituencies, only, to address their unique needs. However, this process is often
haphazard rather than systematic, and the collation of this information poses a challenge as it
impairs the presentation of coherent and conclusive data to the South African government.
For these reasons, the HCWG has embarked on this project to monitor incidents of suspected
hate crimes, including the Police, justice and health sectors’ response to these. Recording hate
crime incidents and making the information available to the HCWG can make a difference, as it
will allow a broad scope of incidents to be monitored and problems can then be addressed
coherently. Moreover, presenting data thus collated allows for emphasising the prevalence and
/ or impact of hate crimes. Thus, the Monitoring Form attempts to address a major criticism of
similar forms used in the United Kingdom, European countries and United States as being too
sector-specific. Similar forms used in these countries also fail to reflect as much information as
Page | 9
this Monitoring Form, which aims to gather data relating to the victim(s); the incident(s); the
perpetrator(s); and the reaction of Police and healthcare providers.
In essence, the aim of the Hate Crimes Monitoring Project is to provide a baseline record for a
five year longitudinal study to provide immediate information on hate crimes as they occur for
appropriate pro-active and reactive responses by government and service providers. In the
foreseeable future, the Monitoring Form will also become available in an online system to track
real time events. Information gathered by means of the Monitoring Form will be of assistance in
dealing with hate crimes in the following ways:

Provide reliable and comparable information in a standardised format regarding the
types, nature and impact of the hate crimes that are occurring across a range of
vulnerable sectors

Increased monitoring of levels of hate crime in order to inform the urgent location of
interventions where hate crimes are occurring and, by implication, where interventions
are needed most urgently

Provide information that will help lobbying for improved policy and strategies for
addressing hate crimes.
Participation in this HCWG Hate Crimes Monitoring Project is intended to benefit related work of
organisations across a range of sectors in the area of hate crime, hate speech and intentional
unfair discrimination. Organisations who wish to participate are instructed in the utilisation of
the Monitoring Form through related training workshops, supported by this ‘Hate & Bias Crime
Monitoring Form User Guide’ that is made available to those who contract with the HCWG in
this regard. Training in its use is strongly recommended.
INFORMED CONSENT, CONFIDENTIALITY AND DATA PROTECTION
The project team understands and fully subscribes to ethical behaviour that is relevant to a
project of this nature. The HCWG is currently in the process of obtaining ethical clearance from
the University of South Africa for this project. Among others, confidentiality is considered to be
of paramount importance. The information provided by the victim must be treated as
confidential by the organisation where the Monitoring Form is completed. The victim of a hate
crime may withdraw from providing the information at any time and may withhold information
at will. The completed forms and resultant data will be stored in a safe place accessible only to
the HCWG and to the organisations partaking in the collection of data.
Page | 10
The HCWG must emphasise that while some details of the incident could be shared with other
organisations working to address hate crimes, for example to demonstrate the type of crimes
that are occurring, the identity of the victim(s); alleged perpetrator(s) and/ or person
documenting the hate crime will be protected at all times. Other than treating every Monitoring
Form confidentially, the related case information will be taken seriously and managed
respectfully. To reiterate: personal details about the victim will not be given to anyone, including
the Police, without explicit permission from the victim.
As indicated, the data collected with this Monitoring Form will be analysed for research about
the nature and impact of hate crime in South Africa. The data will be used in aggregate (that is,
the combination of all the data) form only, which means that no individual victim will be
identifiable in any publications resulting from this research. The information obtained from this
project will be disseminated to service providers, community leaders and the academic
community through workshops, discussion forums, presentations and academic publications. In
the foreseeable future, workshops and discussions may also be conducted with communities to
find out how they think this information could best be applied.
Participation in the project is subject to completion of a Consent Form (see attached as
APPENDIX B). Whenever feasible, please ensure that every participating victim signs the form at
the outset, thus consenting that their case information may be utilised in the project.
Furthermore, please ensure that your organisation has signed the Consent Form once off, thus
agreeing to participate in the project.
FURTHER ASSISTANCE
We reiterate that the HCWG will not provide the information in this Monitoring Form to the
Police to open a criminal case. If the victim of a hate crime incident wants to open a case with
the Police, they can either approach a police station directly or otherwise be directed to a CSO or
other organisation that can assist them in reporting the matter to the Police. Should either the
victim of a hate crime incident or the person documenting the hate crime incident require
support from healthcare providers, please refer to APPENDIX D: HATE CRIMES CONTACT
INFORMATION DIRECTORY.
HOW TO USE THE MONITORING FORM
Organisations are requested to complete the Monitoring Form either retrospectively (that is,
capturing information from existing case files) or on behalf of a hate crime victim with whom
Page | 11
they are newly brought into contact. The information will be recorded and used as part of the
advocacy efforts of the HCWG.
The Monitoring Form is preceded by a Cover Letter and accompanied by a Consent Form, a User
Guide, a Glossary of Terms and a Hate Crimes Contact Information Directory. These documents
are designed to support the utilisation of the Monitoring Form. The Cover Letter contains
summarised general information and contact details for the submission of the Monitoring Form.
Prior to completing the form, the participating organisation and / or person should sign the
Consent Letter to ensure informed consent. The User Guide, of course, also forms the basis of
the related training workshop3. Should hate crime victims seek further assistance; such as
counselling, legal advice or an HIV test, please refer to APPENDIX D: HATE CRIMES CONTACT
INFORMATION DIRECTORY.
Data sources
A range of data sources can be used in completion of the form. These include:

Face to face interview(s) with either the victim(s), a witness, and / or a third party, such
as a service provider(s),

Media and/ or research report(s)

Case file(s) and/ or

A combination of the above-mentioned data sources.
It is important to ascertain that a case, in fact, qualifies before its inclusion in the project. The
training workshop and this User Guide set out to clarify how to identify relevant cases for
documentation and how to utilise the Monitoring Form. Towards this end, the concepts ‘hate
crime’, ‘hate speech’ and ‘intentional unfair discrimination’, in particular, are important to
understand correctly. For purposes of this Hate Crimes Monitoring Project, hate crime, hate
speech and intentional unfair discrimination are, as earlier indicated, defined in accordance
with the earlier mentioned DoJ&CD and FHR proposed Hate Crimes policy framework that
became available in 2013.
3
The project team understands the barrier posed for many participating organisations by utilising English as the sole
language in which the Monitoring Form and User Guide are available. However, time and resource implications, as
well as complications for the data capturing process, but also the very real risk of having intended meanings lost in
translation dictate that at this point we have no other option. Should it prove necessary to revise this decision at a
later stage, we will make every effort to overcome related language barriers. Suggestions as to which other official
languages may make most sense (based on dominant languages per province/ region), are welcome.
Page | 12
This User Guide introduces a revised version of the Monitoring Form4 that is based on research
conducted during 2012, and incorporates related research findings. The Monitoring Form is
designed to capture any cases suspected of involving hate crimes by trained representatives of
organisations working to support such victims or working to lobby government to introduce
measures to protect people against hate crime. In brief, it is important to emphasise that the
intended use of the Monitoring Form is, as its name suggests, for monitoring purposes by service
providers and the HCWG, and not for reporting hate crimes to the Police or other criminal justice
officials. The intention is also not for the Monitoring Form to replace any of the internal forms
currently in use by individual organisations. For instance, the Monitoring Form has not been
designed as an ‘Intake Form’, but, instead, is to be completed by service providers soon after
intake and submitted at regular time intervals to a central point for data capturing (see related
details on Page 20 of this document).
Provision is made in the Monitoring to indicate whether multiple victims were involved in an
incident, as well as specification of how many victims were involved. If sufficient information (as
required in the completion of this form) is available about any / all of the other victims involved
in an incident, a separate form for each of those victims is to be completed. In an effort to track
multiple cases related to one incident, the Monitoring Form makes provision for service
providers to indicate whether individual cases are linked to others.
As indicated, hate crimes are crimes that are motivated by prejudice. However, it is often
difficult for a person other than the perpetrator to determine what his / her motive was. For
this reason, this Monitoring Form should be used to record crimes that the victim or those
assisting the victim(s) believe was motivated by prejudice. The actual motivation of the
perpetrator is something that may only be determined during a criminal investigation. What
matters is the perception of the victim, or those within the victim’s community regarding the
motivation of the crime.
It must be emphasised, yet again, that this Monitoring Form must be completed by a person who
has been trained in the use thereof. The hate crime can be brought to the attention of this person
by the victim (that is, the person who experienced the incident), or by a service provider,
4
Note, the feasibility of having three versions of the form in the future is being considered:
1) In hard copy format to be completed by hand and posted or scanned and emailed to a central point;
2) An electronic version that provides for electronic submission as email attachment; and
3) A version available on the HCWG website for which users will have to register, allowing for online completion and
immediate submission.

volunteer, or a person who has access to the information related to the hate victimisation and
who can retrospectively complete the form.
STRUCTURE OF THE MONITORING FORM
As can be seen in APPENDIX C, the HATE & BIAS CRIME MONITORING FORM is divided into the
following seven sections:
A General Information section (Completion hereof is deemed important)
Captures identifying information of the participating organisation, an indication of
linkages to other cases, the selected data source(s), and the target of the hate crime.
Section 1: Victim Details and Background (Completion hereof is deemed important)
Includes biographical details of the victim at the time of the incident.
Section 2: Current Incident Details (This section is critical)
Details of the current incident are gathered and include questions pertaining to how the
particular hate crime incident was perceived, as well as the effects of the incident on the
victim. Section 2 is critical and should be answered with as much detail as possible
because it provides a broader picture of the hate crime incident.
Section 3: Alleged Offender’s Details (Completion hereof is optional)
This section entails the description of the offender’s characteristics such as age, race,
ethnicity, gender identity, sexual orientation or perceptions thereof. This section is
relatively short as the alleged offender is not the main focus of the project and the
information provided is not used in the investigation of the crime. This section may also
be difficult to answer if the victim has trouble recalling particular details, but if time
allows we encourage the completion of this section. The information may help in
creating a profile of the hate crime offender.
Section 4: Police (Similarly optional)
The questions in Section 4 relate directly to the treatment of the victim by the Police
after the incident.
Section 5: Access to Healthcare Assistance and Support (Optional)
The questions in Section 5 relate directly to the treatment of the victim by healthcare
providers after the incident.
Section 6: Previous Incident Details (Important)
Page | 14
The final section, Section 6, asks for details about previous incidents of hate
victimisation, with the aim of recording whether the victim has previously experienced a
hate crime incident.
The form contains various terms or categories that may not be clear to the person capturing the
data. In most cases, the succinctness of the question relates to available space in which to ask a
normally complex question. To this end, a reminder to consult APPENDIX A: GLOSSARY OF
TERMS, throughout for guidance when completing the Monitoring Form. Additionally, we have
included several notices that read ‘Please refer to User Guide’ at certain points to assist in the
clarification of such items. Below are descriptions that relate to the notices in each section.
Section 1
Question 1.2 - Race
With regards to ‘other’; genetic studies conclude that Somalis and their fellow Ethiopian and
Eritrean Northeast African populations represent a unique and distinct biological group on the
continent. Therefore, if the victim originates from the aforementioned regions, please indicate
this in the option for ‘other’.
Question 1.3, 1.4 & 1.5 – Sex, Gender and Sexual orientation
If the victim was a trans man (Female to male trans person) at the time of the victimisation, 1.3.
2 ‘Male’ will be ticked, as will 1.4.3 Female to male / trans man, while sexual orientation can
vary: If, for instance, attracted to other men, then 1.5.2 ‘Gay / Lesbian’ will be ticked; if attracted
to women, 1.5.1 ‘Heterosexual’ will be ticked Of course, if the sexual orientation is unknown,
1.5.5 ‘Unknown’ will be ticked.
Question 1.9 & 1.10 - Nationality and Country of Origin
Preliminary research data indicate that a large number of victims of hate crimes in South Africa
originate from African countries. However, presenting a complete list of African countries for
selection in these questions is impractical. Therefore, to ease the collection and analysis of data,
African countries are grouped into regions as indicated below:
Eastern African Countries – Burundi, Comoros, Djibouti, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Kenya, Madagascar,
Malawi, Mauritius, Mayotte, Mozambique, Réunion, Rwanda, Seychelles, Somalia, Uganda,
United Republic of Tanzania, Zambia, Zimbabwe
Page | 15
Central/Middle African Countries – Angola, Cameroon, Central African Republic, Chad, Congo,
Democratic Republic of the Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Gabon, Sao Tome, Principe
Northern African Countries - Algeria, Egypt, Libyan Arab Jamahiriya, Morocco, Sudan, Tunisia,
Western Sahara
Southern African Countries – Botswana, Lesotho, Namibia, South Africa, Swaziland
Western African Countries – Benin, Burkina Faso, Cape Verde, Cote d'Ivoire, Gambia, Ghana,
Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, Liberia, Mali, Mauritania, Niger, Nigeria, Saint Helena, Senegal, Sierra
Leone, Togo
Question 1.12 & 1.13 – Home Language & Language most often spoken
The form lists all South African languages. However, many victims originate from the Southern
African region and from other African countries. ‘Other’ home languages / languages most
spoken in Africa include Arabic (17%), Kiswahili (10%), Hausa (5%), Berber (5%), Amharic,
Oromo, Yoruba, Fula, Somali, and Igbo. Languages such as French, Portuguese and Spanish are
secondary languages also spoken often in Africa. Therefore, if a victim originates from anywhere
outside of South Africa, please specify their home language and language spoken most often
under the option for ‘other’.
Question 1.14.1 – Was the victim disabled at the time of the incident
Disability: is a broad term that compares actual ability to normal functioning. It is most often
used to refer to impairment. A person may be considered disabled if he or she has a condition
that affects the ability to function without assistance at a level needed to maintain well-being.
Three main types of disabilities are identified, which are:
(1) Developmental disabilities: according to the Centre for Disease Control and Prevention,
developmental disabilities are a group of conditions that manifest due to an impairment in
physical, learning, language, or behaviour areas. They are life-long disabilities, resulting in
problems with growth and development, and must manifest prior to age 22.
Examples include: Attention Deficit Disorder / Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder,
Asperger Syndrome, Autism, Down syndrome, and Dyslexia.
Page | 16
(2) Mental disabilities: are psychological or behavioural patterns that are characterised by some
combination of abnormal thoughts, emotions, behaviour and relationships with others.
Examples include: Schizophrenia, Depression, Mental retardation, Alzhemier’s Disease and
Anxiety disorder.
According to the Sex Offences Act No. 32 of 2007, a mentally disabled person is someone
affected by any mental disability, including any disorder or disability of the mind, to the extent
that he or she, at the time of the alleged commission of the offence in question, was—
(a) unable to appreciate the nature and reasonably foreseeable consequences of a
sexual act;
(b) able to appreciate the nature and reasonably foreseeable consequences of such
an act, but unable to act in accordance with that appreciation;
(c) unable to resist the commission of any such act; or
(d) unable to communicate his or her unwillingness to participate in any such act.
(3) Physical disability: is defined by the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) as "any
physiological disorder or condition, cosmetic disfigurement, or anatomical loss affecting one or
more of the following body systems: neurological, musculoskeletal, special sense organs,
respiratory (including speech organs), cardiovascular, reproductive, digestive, genitourinary,
hemic and lymphatic, skin, and endocrine”.
Question 1.16 - Type of Dwelling
The question aims to determine the type of dwelling the victim lived in at the time of the
incident. Type of dwelling refers to various types of structures used for accommodation. Such
structures include houses, townhouses, flats/apartments, hostels, huts, informal dwellings such
as shacks, semi-detached houses, etc.
There are different options provided in the Monitoring Form:
1) Informal dwelling: Dwelling structures which are not erected according to approved
architectural plans or on planned sites in municipal or local authority areas; or are on
unproclaimed land in both urban and non-urban areas; or are in makeshift structures in
relatively high density concentrations in rural areas, are regarded as informal dwellings. Shacks
are an example of informal dwellings.
2) House/townhouse/semi-detached: A house is a private self-contained dwelling that stands
Page | 17
on a stand or piece of land that is separate from other dwellings.
3) Flat/Apartment: A flat or an apartment refers to a dwelling within a block of flats. A block of
flats is a structure, usually multistoried, consisting of a number of dwellings, sharing the same
residential address, and usually sharing a common entrance, foyer or staircase.
4) Traditional Dwelling: A traditional dwelling is one made of clay, mud, thatch or other
traditional materials. It can be round or square in shape. Traditional dwellings may be found as
single units or in clusters.
5) Displacement site: A site where people have been put to stay temporarily after being
forcefully or otherwise moved from their area.
6) Victim Friendly Centre/ Shelter: this is a place staffed by volunteers who give support and
advice to people experiencing personal crises.
7) Other: If the victim does not stay in any aforementioned dwellings, for example if they are
homeless, then this is indicated as ‘other’. Homeless persons were defined as those who had no
form of shelter on census night. They had no known living address, but could be found spending
the whole of census night on street corners or pavements, sleeping under bridges, in doorways,
in alleyways, at entrances to buildings or shops, at railway stations, or even sleeping in public
toilets.
Question 1.17 - Living Area
This question aims to determine if hate crimes are more likely or prevalent in some areas than
in others. These areas are:
1) Urban areas: settlements that have been legally proclaimed as being urban. Other areas are
not regarded as urban, even if they are densely populated. Urban areas may be:
(a) formal (city or town)
(b) informal, that is areas found within a proclaimed urban area (city/town) but
consisting mainly of informal dwellings. These are the so-called squatter areas.
(c) other urban areas, which may include mines; factories and municipal hostels;
hospitals; prisons; and other institutions contained within a local authority
Page | 18
boundary.
2) Non-urban areas (also referred to as rural areas): fall outside of legally proclaimed urban
areas, and include commercial farms; small settlements; and rural villages.
3) Other: If the victim does not live in any of the aforementioned areas, in which case, please
specify.
Section 2
Question 2.3 - Where did the incident take place
This specifies the place where the incident took place, which includes the province; town; place;
or venue. The example that was used related to hate crimes or related incidences outside or
near, for example, a LGBTI venue or a tavern. Please indicate the general area (e.g. the suburb or
township) and the more specific venue, e.g. outside an LGBT venue, in a tavern or in a park).
Question 2.14 - Which of the following changes were observed in the victim after the
incident
A traumatic incident (such as hate crime victimisation) can bring about short- or long-term
changes in the victim’s normal level of functioning and ability to cope. These changes can,
among others, be physical; mental; emotional; spiritual; economic; in living conditions; or in
relationships.
Physical changes: victims may experience short- or long-term physical changes after a traumatic
event. These may include loss of a limb or body function after a serious assault. Other physical
changes indicative of a victim’s distress and / or need for urgent medical attention, include:
Fatigue; nausea and vomiting; muscle tremors and twitches; chest pain; breathing difficulty;
elevated blood pressure; rapid heart rate; and shock symptoms.
Mental changes: short- or long-term mental changes in the victim’s normal level of functioning
and ability to cope, among others, refer to when the level of cognitive functioning (thinking) of a
victim decreases or become less effective during and after a traumatic event. Such symptoms of
distress include: Confusion; poor attention; poor decisions; heightened or lowered alertness;
poor concentration; memory problems; loss of time, place or person orientation; nightmares;
and intrusive images.
Page | 19
Emotional changes: that are indicative of distress or trauma in victims, for example, include:
Fear; anger; guilt; anxiety; grief; denial; severe panic; emotional shock; uncertainty; depression;
feeling overwhelmed; and irritability.
Spiritual changes: among others, refer to when someone becomes particularly religious after a
near death experience, or, in fact, loses all their faith in the goodness of humankind or their God
following a traumatic incident.
Economic changes: may include the loss of employment due to serious physical injuries
sustained in an assault, such as brain damage. Serious emotional damage, such as severe
depression, as a result of, for instance, an onslaught on someone’s pride and dignity during a
hate incident, similarly may impact on someone’s work functioning or ability to achieve.
Changes in living conditions: these may include having to move away from one’s residence or
community for fear of re-victimisation or retaliation by perpetrators who have not been
brought to book. Making one’s home a ‘fortress’ by installing an abundance of security measures
at great expense for fear of armed robbers returning, similarly suggest changes in living
conditions.
Changes in relationships: these may, for instance, come about due to the victim’s reluctance to
socialise with friends following a hate crime incident in which s/he lost faith in others. A breakup in an intimate relationship due to the victim or significant others’ difficulties to cope with a
‘corrective’ rape is another example of possible changes in relationships.
WHAT TO DO WITH COMPLETED FORMS
Participating organisations are requested to forward all completed forms immediately or at
least once a month (or as per prior agreement)5 for data capturing purposes and integration
into a central data base.

APPENDIX A: GLOSSARY OF TERMS
1. Accomplice: an associate in wrongdoing, especially one who aids or abets another in a
criminal act either as a principal or an accessory (The Free Dictionary, 2013a).
2. African Traditional Religion: the indigenous religious beliefs and practices of black
Africans. It is the religion which resulted from the sustaining faith held by the forebears of the
present black Africans, and which is being practised in various forms and various shades and
intensities by a very large number of black Africans (Awolalu, 1975).
3. Arson: the unlawful and intentional damaging of an immovable structure which is suitable
for human occupation or the storing of goods and which belongs to another by setting fire to it
with the intention to prejudice another (Institute for Security Studies Africa, 2013a).
4. Asexual: a person who has a low or absent sexual desire, low or absent sexual behaviour and
a concomitant lack of subjective distress. Identifying as asexual does not preclude the ability for
the person to have a romantic or love relationship with someone of the same and / or different
genders (PsySSA, 2013).
5. Assault or common assault: the unlawful and intentional direct and indirect application of
force to the body of another person or threat of application of immediate personal violence to
another, in circumstances in which the threatened person is prevailed upon to believe that the
person who is threatening him / her has the intention and power to carry out their threat
(Institute for Security Studies Africa, 2013b).
6. Assault with intent to do grievous bodily harm (GBH): the unlawful and intentional direct
or indirect application of force to the body of another person with the intention of causing
grievous bodily harm to that person. Note: The victim does not need to sustain serious injuries.
The decisive element is the intention to cause serious injuries (Institute for Security Studies
Africa, 2013c).
7. Atheism: the lack of belief in a deity, which implies that nothing exists but natural
phenomena, that thought is a property or function of matter, and that death irreversibly and

2005).
11. Bisexual: a person who is capable of having sexual, romantic and intimate feelings for or a
love relationship with someone of the same gender and / or with someone of other genders;
such attraction to different genders is not necessarily simultaneous or equal in intensity
(PsySSA, 2013).

Africa) (The Free Dictionary, 2013b).
13. Buddhism: a religion indigenous to the Indian subcontinent that encompasses a variety of

14. Business owner: someone who owns a company but does not work with the day-to-day
operations of the company (Investopedia, 2013a).

been brought to book. Making one’s home a ‘fortress’ by installing an abundance of security
measures at great expense for fear of armed robbers returning, similarly suggest changes in
living conditions.
16. Changes in relationships: these may, for instance, come about due to the victim’s
reluctance to socialise with friends following a hate crime incident in which s/he lost faith in
others. A break-up in an intimate relationship due to the victim or significant others’ difficulties

that affects the ability to function without assistance at a level needed to maintain well-being
(Access-ability, 2011).
Three main types of disabilities are identified, which are:
(a) Developmental disabilities: according to the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention, developmental disabilities are a group of conditions that manifest due to
an impairment in physical, learning, language, or behaviour areas. They are life-long,

groups (Institute of Race Relations, 2012a).
27. Displacement site: a site where people have been put to stay temporarily after being

45. Heterosexual: a man who has romantic, sexual and intimate feelings for or a love
relationship with a woman (or women) or a woman who has romantic, sexual and intimate
feelings for a love relationship with a man (or men) (Nel, 2007).
